Mayor of Tasman
Transport
Helping communities get from A to B is a key responsibility of local government, from making sure the buses run on time to providing car parking and walking and cycling paths. Whether public transport is the responsibility of the regional or local council depends on where you are in the country. Local councils also own 87% of New Zealand’s roads.

Prioritise maintenance of existing roads and bridges to provide a resilient and safe network.
Focus on improving the public transport network by reviewing routes and times to meet demand and encourage greater use.
Advocate for NZTA to invest in the Richmond Intersection project as the region's highest priority transport infrastructure project.
Acknowledge the new paradigm of little traffic, energy use and work brought about by the abandonment of the now pointless pursuit of money.
Celebrate the freedom, time, safety, ecological benefits and peace and quiet enabled by the ending of the monetary era.
Revisit infrastructure challenges by acknowledging new possibilities regarding quality and resilience when money cost need not be considered.
Ensure that transport investment, like the Hope bypass, delivers long-term traffic solutions and the best return on investment.
Grow stronger towns and villages with more transport options. Stop the sprawl to reduce congestion caused by low-density growth.
Stop politicising transport by addressing congestion with expert land use, urban design and planning solutions rather than politics.
Remove unworkable cycleways and traffic calming features.
Return some speed limits to previous levels.
Stop using the ports as a cash cow.
